Chapter 416 Xiaoliuqiu natives who applaud the subjugation
Although Xiao Liuqiu Island established a country in a decent manner, in fact, the "country" of this grass-roots team is not only terriblely loose in power, but also has a pitifully small population.
In the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, there are often tens of thousands of people. However, on the Xiaoliuqiu Island, the population is less than ten thousand. Such a small population dares to become a country alone. In the north, I am afraid that I will be laughed at.
Of course, as a Gao Mingshi, who has a special task and represents the external image of the Ming Dynasty, would not laugh at the indigenous forces on Xiaoliuqiu Island. Because he did not take this country smaller than a booze seriously at all.
After landing on the island on the Marine Corps, he drew a circle under his name on the map representing Xiaoliuqiu Island. This also means that the island is the territory of the Ming Kingdom in the future. If you look closely, you will find that many red lines have been added to the island from Kyushu Island to the southwest waters.
No matter how many indigenous forces were there on those islands before the arrival of Ming Dynasty. Now they have become Ming people passively. If they don’t want to, then die. Just like the scene of Xiaoliuqiu Island being evolved, it has been staged on many islands before.
But those islands were not as tough as Xiao Liuqiu Island. After the Ming army showed a certain tough attitude, they surrendered directly. Some of them escaped, and Gao Mingshi did not let the fleet chase after him.
Anyway, this mission is mainly exploration, and it is definitely not enough to truly take over the entire Ryukyu Islands for your own use.
Especially the Ming Dynasty was accustomed to using immigration assimilation methods. After it took effect here, the rule of the Ming Dynasty could truly be "deeply penetrated into the hearts of the people".
But at that time, the people on the island must have changed a lot.
Just as the Ming army was advancing smoothly, Yoshimoto, the third king of Shuntian Kingdom, had already known about a group of evil tourists from the sea.
Although the Shuntian Kingdom is facing internal struggles for power and profit, and has been defeated by the Prime Minister Tang Wan and has become a de facto puppet, the sudden destruction of the country is still a bit unexpected.
"Your Majesty, you'd better run away quickly. Those evil thieves can make thunder and their supernatural powers are unparalleled, so the prime minister will definitely not be able to stop them." The close servant who served Yimoto hurriedly suggested, and quickly packed up valuable items and salutes, and was about to take his own king to run away.
It is not the time when the later Ryukyu Kingdom asked the Central Plains to entrust it, so the famous Shuri Castle has not been established. The royal capital on the island is actually a larger village, mostly low sheds made of wood.
It is incomparable to the magnificent palace.
After all, the Shuntian Kingdom only showed off its might in the surrounding waters of Xiaoliuqiu Island. It has not been able to unify the entire Ryukyu Islands and its external connections are not close. Many cultural customs in the Central Plains and the etiquette and education of Japan have not been deeply influenced by this island.
Therefore, the architectural style is also relatively primitive.
Yi was used to being a puppet, and he had no opinion. He heard the servant say this, and just cried in fear, and he didn't look like a king of a country at all.
Because there was nothing valuable, it was quickly packed up. The nearby servant quickly asked Yoshimoto to replace the rare silk cloth on the island and put on the coarse linen that was worn by the islanders.
Guozhan was caught off guard by the sudden arrival of the Ming army, and he had no time to worry about becoming a puppet king.
It was not until the guard he arranged to send Yoshimoto and the close attendant to him that he learned that the other party was trying to escape in the chaos.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Tang Wan asked condescendingly at Yoshimoto with a blue face.
But as the king, Yoshimoto lay on the ground, his body shaking like a sieve of bran.
"Yes-Yes-" Although Yoshimoto was fifteen or sixteen years old, he was quite cowardly. Especially under the strict control of Tangwan, he was even more afraid of him. He was so afraid of him that he was not easy to speak and even cried.
"It's me, I instigated me. If you want to kill or shave, you will come to me." The close servant was a loyal protector of the Lord and immediately rescued the siege.
"Hmph!" Tang Wan was too lazy to talk to the other party, so he was about to kill him, but there were already shouts of killing outside.
Then there was a loud thunder sound. Tang Wan didn't care about so much and fled. Originally, he wanted to leave Xiaoliuqiu Island to avoid the limelight. After all, he was not a king, and he did not have the principle of staying at the island. In addition, the island had not experienced crises before, and he had been to the island for a while in the past dynasties.
When the limelight passes and comes back, we will be peaceful.
After all, it is just an island without gold and silver, and there is nothing to grab, so there is no need to worry about the other party occupying the island and not leaving.
But he didn't expect that this group of evil thieves were so fast. Before his belongings were cleaned up, he actually came to the door.
When Gao Mingshi arrived at the "Guo Capital" of Xiaoliuqiu, it was still very bright.
Although in the eyes of many Ming soldiers, this battle was like a joke. No one died, and the only one who was injured was that he tripped and sprained his ankle because he ran too fast and ran too fast. Two or three hundred people were killed and injured on the islanders, most of whom were scared to death by the sound of fire thunder and cannons. Even Wei Wenyuan, who was a spectator, felt aggrieved for them.
Moreover, such casualties can indeed be regarded as heavy losses for the Shuntian Kingdom, which has a small population.
So from today on, the Shuntian Kingdom was destroyed. This local regime, which is of Caotai, ended its history in an unsatisfactory way.
The Ming army was not excited at all, and the response from Shuntian Kingdom quickly became dull. Because the islanders living on the island had no unified concept of a country. No matter who ruled, as long as they could ensure that they had stuttering and did not wantonly rob their fishing catch.
Even when the Ming army brought canned food, cloth, fine salt and other supplies, they exchanged fresh fish, coarse grains and other food with the people on the island, they were welcomed very enthusiastically.
Because when Shuntian Kingdom was ruled before, the senior powerful people took whatever they saw. Even if passing fishing boats could bring certain benefits to the island, most of them had entered the pockets of the powerful people.
As ordinary people, they are living tool people.
Therefore, for the kindness released by the Ming fleet, these tool people were extremely happy to accept the reality of changing their masters.
The interest groups represented by Guoxiang Tangwan are truly sad for the demise of Shuntian Kingdom. After all, the days of being arrogant and prosperous are over, so how can you not be sad?
